Charles William Karwan

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Kenneth Wood, ret. on May 11, 2015:

Chuck and I went way back. A place called "Roosevelt Elementary School," in Garfield Heights, Ohio, back in the '50s. Wrestled in high school together.

At every step of life, Chuck proved himself to be the Champion he was. There was never any doubt.

Whether in scholasticism, sports, or every day life, Chuck lived life to the fullest; there were no "half-measures" for him. He drank life's measures--good or ill--with gusto.

A more decent, loyal, or fun loving friend you could not ask for.

We'll meet again, Chuck; you just got there first--as always! There's no place or show finish for you. Just the BIG WIN!
